Gizmondo
Gizmondo made a fairly large appearance at E3 2005, showing off tons of content and giving gamers plenty of time with the system. Featuring music and video playback, GPS capabilities, gaming, a built-in camera and more, the system is a truly multimedia portable machine.
The device has been available in Europe for some time now, and will finally make its way to the US on August 11th. There will be two price points, either $229 as a Smart Adds-enabled unit or $399 without. The Smart Adds technology sends up to three targeted ads to the device per day, though as the content is targeted to the user's profile, you'll only see ads for things that should interest you. As well as common advertisement, Smart Adds users may also receive coupons and such on the unit, which retailers can just scan off the screen for instant savings. Additionally, using the built-in GPS capabilities, if you see an ad for a restaurant or some such, the Gizmondo will be able to tell you where the closest locations are.
The GPS tech is also good for Geofencing, in which users can tell the Gizmondo to message their cell phone or some such if it moves outside of a set radius. This is handy for security purposes and the like.
We saw a quick clip of the trailer for the Fantastic Four movie to test its video capabilities. A quick look showed us that while the video isn't close to that of what the PSP is capable of, it's certainly watchable. Content with lots of action sequences likely won't work well with the Gizmondo's video playback capabilities, but dialog-oriented content should look fine.
We also got a quick look at some of the games for the system, of which 89 are currently scheduled to be available by the end of the year, including big-name titles like FIFA and SSX3 from EA. Games on display included Chicane, a street racing game, Toy Golf, a mini-golf game that takes place in a house, Colors, a puzzle game, and many others.
One of the games we had a look at was Hidden Myth, an action RPG somewhat similar to Diablo or Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance. A big difference between Hidden Myth and those games though is that Hidden Myth is based on ranged combat rather than hand-to-hand. The game uses a fully 3D engine and features comedy-based settings and content, including level like Santa's Sweatshop and Planet X, a level similar to Mars Attacks' art and character design.
A cool technology demo that we saw went by the name of Aguju. Using the device's gyroscope functionality, the demo was a walk through a 3D maze, but instead of controlling the direction via the Gizmondo's control pad, turning and twisting the device change the facing. At the end of the maze, the surroundings faded into video from the camera, making it appear as if the virtual world blended into the real world. It was pretty neat.
We'll have more on the Gizmondo as its August 11th US release date approaches.   . |
